Pave Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 1.41 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring centers a transparent 1.41 carat round bluish green sapphire from Montana, measuring 6.68 x 6.63 x 4.43 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style, and set by The Natural Sapphire Company in a classic 14K yellow gold mounting. The sapphire’s intense color saturation and excellent polish are immediately apparent, and its clarity is described as very slightly included when viewed at eye level, which means the stone reads clean and lively to the naked eye. Unlike many mass-market sapphires that trend toward standard cornflower blue, Montana sapphires often carry a distinctive teal to bluish green character; this stone’s mixed brilliant cut amplifies that complexity, offering both faceted sparkle on the crown and depth in the pavilion that combine to show the full range of hue and saturation. The piece is accented with approximately 0.125 carats of white round natural diamonds, graded VS clarity and F/G color, which are thoughtfully positioned so they enhance rather than compete with the center gem.

The setting itself is designed to showcase and intensify the sapphire’s color in ways that less-considered designs often fail to achieve. The warm tone of 14K yellow gold reflects complementary warm light back into the pavilion, subtly enhancing the green component of the sapphire and giving the bluish green tones a richer, more vivid presence than the same stone mounted in white metals. The elevated prong and open gallery approach allows an abundance of light to enter the stone from both the crown and pavilion, maximizing the mixed brilliant cut’s ability to return light and color. Where bezel and flush settings can confine light and slightly mute a gem’s personality, this prong-mounted, minimal-profile ring lets the facets breathe and the color sing, making the stone appear brighter and often perceptibly larger than a comparable gem set more heavily in metal.

Clarity and perceived cleanliness are treated with equal importance in this design. Because the sapphire is very slightly included at eye level, the open prong setting and mixed brilliant facet arrangement work in tandem to minimize the visibility of any internal inclusions. The polished facet junctions and precise crown angles scatter and reflect light across the table and crown facets, masking minute internal features and prioritizing scintillation over static dark areas. The small white diamonds under the gallery and around the setting introduce high-contrast flashes of white light that draw and redirect the eye to sparkle and motion, further reducing attention to negligible inclusions. Compared with commonly seen pavé-heavy rings where the eye is pulled into the metalwork and away from the center, this design uses only 0.125 carats of accent diamonds with VS clarity and F/G color to create crisp counterpoints that sharpen the sapphire’s blue-green tones.

When you evaluate this ring against others on the market, the combination of Montana origin, a strong 1.41 carat weight, mixed brilliant cutting, an open prong, light-forward setting, and the warm, reflective canvas of 14K yellow gold makes it a uniquely compelling offering from The Natural Sapphire Company. Many competitors emphasize showy halos or heavy metal settings that can dominate a center stone and dilute its natural color dynamics; this piece intentionally preserves and amplifies the sapphire’s innate character while adding subtle diamond accents for contrast and movement. The result is a ring that reads as both refined and vibrant, offering superior visual impact and everyday wearability. If you prefer a setting that elevates color and clarity rather than obscures them, this design delivers a clear advantage, and The Natural Sapphire Company can further customize finishes or metal choices to refine how the sapphire presents on the hand.
